Thread Name: What makes a new song a folk song?
Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
"I know you disagree with everything anyone says but at least defend your own posts, you dozy bugger."
Defend what Muskie?
Folk songs are in the public domain - what's wrong with that statement - what's to defend?
Copyrighting a song is tantamount to signing it as belonging to an individual and not in the public domain - any problem with that?
'I don't like Mondays' is the property of an extremely wealthy individual who would probably break your fingers in the lavatory door if you tried to claim it as being anybody's but his.
What on earth's your problem Muskie, "you dozy bugger"?
You still have failed to address one single point I have made but are blustering and bullying, as is your wont.
How about justifying some of your own inanities instead of declaring them as if they made sense dickhead?
"whether you like the tradition or not, it is the roots of it all."
This is what is either forgot ton in all this or has been deliberately shelved so 'folk' can be used as a catchall dustbin.
